Law of Targets
You are not going to break your knuckles punching an attacker's temple. A kick to the groin will not fracture your instep. A knife hand strike to the throat will hurt the throat more than your hand.
Kempo teaches you to choose your targets in order to maximize damage to your opponent while minimizing damage to yourself.

Third Law of Kempo
Law of Multiple Strikes
Kempo teaches you to strike first and strike often in rapid succession. You train to hit high, low, straight in, and along a circular path.
First you stun, distract, and slow your opponent. Then you take him/her/whatever out.

First Law of Kempo
Law of the Circle and Line
The first law of Kempo states that when your opponent charges straight in and attacks, you should use your feet to move your body along a circular path, while moving your arms in a circular pattern to deflect the oncoming force. When your opponent attacks you in a circular pattern, you should respond with a fast linear attack along a straight line.

A good teacher
I was at the dojo tonight working on the computer system and got to watch Dan teach for a while. Dan is a really good teacher. As an instructor myself, I like to watch other instructors at work. There is always something to learn. Dan has been teaching for a long time, and I like his style of teaching. He teaches principles as well as good technique.
